how low and degrading man can be-

learn how sinking low and rotten man

Whatever may be said of the erratic
course of the Cincinnati dailies, edito-
rally, it is fact that they are great
newspapers, and the grand aim is OF
course to give the news from different
parts of the country as impartially as
may be. We clip this dispatch from
the Commercial Gazette of last Sun
day:
ST.. JOSEPH, Mo-, April 9.-The new
law passed by the late Kansas Legis-
lature, which is intended as back
bone to the present prohibitory law,
is playing havoc with the liquor trade
in Kansas. The ST. Joseph wholesale
dealers complain Of a falling off in
trade, and firm that is known, one
of the largest in the city, has taken
four of its Kansas men off the road.
In Kansas City, it is understood, the
result Of the law is the same, the Kan
sas trade being virtually killed.
The law makes it necessary for a
man desiring to open drug store to
have twenty-five women signers to the
petition, and any person who buys
liquor must 60 before Notary Pub
lie and make affidavit as to what use
he will make of it, and that it is not

We have been studying the political
situation. We have looked over the
figures in the present and some past
campaigns, and we have come upon a
scheme. No, we must modify that
we have discovered the fullness Of the
beauty Of the scheme of some Of the
most "astoot' leaders in the political
field. The Republican party must be
purified. There are too many men IN
it. If we continue with our present
numerical strength, the circle Of men
who want office will be too wide, and
three or four of us can not run things.
We must concentrate, and intensity
the circle of political power. In the
first place, the Temperance cranks-
that is, men who do not think GAM
brinus preferable to Christ, and that
the Messiah Of the world is beer
keg-must all be kicked out OF the
party.
In 1883, the question of Prohibition
and Taxation of the liquor traffic was
put to vote of The people of Jackson
County. in the matter Of a Constitu-
tional Amendment. True, the senti-
ment was so strong that every public
speaker was easily persuaded to espouse
the Temperance cause. The vote came
on, and in Jackson County 1872 men
voted for Prohibition. Now, we are
satisfied that the Republican vote in
that direction was vastly larger than
the Democratic-perbaps at least
double. But let US be fair, and say
one-half of that vote was Republican,
and we have 1885 Republicans who
voted for Prohibition The Temper
anee sentiment has grown rapidly
since that time. and we feel safe in
saying that we will have to kick out
at least two thousand Republican
Temperance men in Jackson County.
But the issue is upon US, friends. Our
reputation as statesmen IS at stake.
With six hundred to eight hundred
Republican plurality, we can easily
spare two thousand from our party.
Then the Labor party will perhaps
organize in a short time, possibly this
year, and we can thrust few of our
voters into that party, and thus still
further trim our party for fighting.
It is of no use for us to try to kill off,
or bulldoze the leaders of this thought.
They are too tough. What we want
to do is to kick out the whole business.
Then we can have plain sailing. We
can nominate whom we please, and
dictate political morals with a high
hand, because we will have nothing to
do but theorize. The Democrats will
fill the offices.

The rice-birds have made such in
roads on the plantations of South
Carolina that the Agricultural De-

has taken the matter under considera-
ton. and the result is a German fall

to chase and kill the rice-birds. This,
it is thought, will put stop to the
plague in a short time. The same
treatment might be accorded the
English sparrows, with great deal of
success.

Before daylight on Saturday morn
ing large brewery in Cincinnati
caught fire, and was damaged to the
extent Of twenty-five thousand dollars.
This might under certain conditions
be considered q loss-but not so in
this case Put aside the fact that the
building was insured, and the loss
would not amount to anything uuder
the circumstances. That twenty FIVE
thousand dollars will soon be paid by
poor devils who will rob their families
in order to pour the earnings into the
pockets Of men who have no interest
in humanity beyond the amount of
money that can be raked in. This in
fernal business is bleeding the people
with constant drain. and no matter
if men die, and others come on to take
their places, the work of the Devils S
school, in educating the youth for per-
dition, goes right on.
